    House of the Dragon

    Downloaded the first season of this whenever it premiered and still haven't gotten around to watching it. Guess I'll start downloading season 2 for no good reason.

    Definitely not me.

    Lost Ark Online

    Sounds like me a year ago. Installed it, logged in, closed it, and uninstalled.

    What are you listening to at the moment?

    Man, that Pump Up the Jams video is wild. I don't really remember it.

    Kyle Gallner? Well I know Rich and Jay will be all over this one.

    Anything Seth is an automatic no from me after that Elf thing.

    What are you listening to at the moment?

    Clicked that and thought it was going to be this much, much better song about Girls and Boys. Or this one, which is actually the best of the 3.

    Weather

    God damn that's a lot of water for a non-tropical storm. Guess my insurance is going to go up again! (just kidding, we got a letter last month that they're dropping us completely, so we need to find a new insurance company)

    I'm not complaining. Our accounts are up 3 years of expenses so far YTD.

    So they project almost no rate cuts and the market flies?

    Was going to ask why the market was up so much today. It'd be one thing to get a big swing like this when the market has been trading in a smaller band, but we're already up a ton.

    Right, but why did you need to bump this thread because you made a post about it in another?

    Bad Boys: Ride or Die (2024)

    That's gotta be a real kick in the dick for the Furiosa people. It's just shy of $150 million worldwide over almost 3 weeks.

    Lost Ark Online

    I agree with all that, but I'm not sure I'd revisit this one ever. Just thinking about having to do all that shit on my account again sounds like AIDS. It was definitely fun for the time I played it though.

    EQ TLP 2024 Teek (Random loot) & Tormax (Traditional) #neckbeardnostalgia

    I don't know why this always comes up on this board. Happened a lot with Diablo IV and Starfield where I said I'm not paying $80 to play that piece of shit. "wHy ArE yOu So BrOkE?!" I'm not broke because I don't spend my money on stupid shit like a subscription to a 25 year old game. The...

    EQ TLP 2024 Teek (Random loot) & Tormax (Traditional) #neckbeardnostalgia

    I was just looking for something to kill some time, and a trip down nostalgia lane sounded appealing. I could load up Lost Ark or New World and save myself $15, and not play a game that looks like absolute dog shit.

    EQ TLP 2024 Teek (Random loot) & Tormax (Traditional) #neckbeardnostalgia

    Thought about giving this a go. Apparently you can only play these progression servers with a sub? A fucking $15 sub to a 25 year old game? Fuck off.

    Theater Chain Death Watch? Chapter 11s inc

    Yeah, the whole thing really needs to separate theaters from movies. They're two connected businesses, but one of them needs the other to survive and the movie making business kind of doesn't need theaters anymore. They've obviously run the numbers and think they'll make more money by throwing...

    Hit Man (2023)

    It was decent. Felt like it kind of fell apart a bit in the last 30ish minutes though.

    Borderlands

    Looking at the posters and I just have to laugh at Kevin Hart as Roland. Isn't he like 5'4" or something? Holy shit, he's 5'2" in fact.

    I know we have a crypto thread, but I feel like every year this one comes up and I always laugh. The bitcoin people will always talk about the reasons crypto is viable as an actual currency and store of value, and then everything always comes back to using it as a way to make money. Which flies...

    I mean, I'd argue he had way beyond fuck you money from the first go around. Didn't he make somewhere around $60+ million?

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Good timing. Just so happened to read the AoC thread this morning where MNM was mentioned, and I'm like "oh yeah, I forgot about that game." Read the last half dozen new pages, and saw a stress test for today of all days. Guess I'll give this one a shot for a few hours today. Was watching that...

    This might be in contention for one of the worst movie titles I've ever seen. Makes me bored just reading it.

    He's got beyond fuck you money at this point. I mean, I obviously can't speak for everyone, because there are certainly people with more than him that continue to sell out. But he also doesn't seem like the type to forego his own personal compass for an endorsement deal.

    I mean, when they shut down the trades to the public the last time so the institutional investors could save their own asses, it really showed that the whole game is rigged. Doing it a 2nd time? That's ballsy. Especially when the stakes are so low all things considered.

    Trigger Warning (2024)

    Sebastian Bach was on that lineup, too. It really made me sad. He looks like a 55 year old fat lesbian. And I just think, "what's the deal with these people still wearing these stupid 'rocker' outfits decades later?" They just look so retarded.

    Trigger Warning (2024)

    Weird, because I was watching some stuff about the Welcome to Rockville festival that took place a few weeks ago in Daytona Beach. L7 was playing. Simulation is weird, man. Why would L7 come up twice in a month in 2024?

    Eh, he also socially engineered the whole thing though. WIthout getting thousands of Redditors (and Twitch watchers I think?) onboard with the plan, it never would've materialized into anything and he'd have lost it all. Really, that's the story of it all. He could've picked any over shorted...

    The Red Letter Media Appreciation Thread

    Kind of surprised they didn't mention the 60s, because I swear they're the ones I heard if from. I thought they had said they went through a phase of mega spending movies that were epics, and eventually that phase gave way to the renaissance of the 70s. I don't know that history will repeat...

    Which is even crazier when you consider they're not doing initial flight training. Like the new boss likely had a good 12-15 years of flying F/A-18's already before that. I mean, he's probably not pulling ridiculous G's, but he's also no stranger to it.

    Atlas

    Acting in that trailer looked atrocious. I don't know why anyone would even bother trying to watch this after that. Feel like the only memorable movie she's been in was Out of Sight, and I honestly don't remember her acting ability in that, but rather George Clooney's.

    There have been so many Blue Angels documentaries over the years, but this one was incredibly well done. Most likely just because technology is improving so you get better shots. There was a one week showing in IMAX in Pensacola but we weren't able to make it, which after watching, is a little...
